One of the regular NetHack players at our site has had the game
panic a couple of times in "freeinv". Does anybody have patches
(or even some idea of what is wrong)? The following is a transcript
of his problem...
************************************************************************
I was (literally) just about to score 2 billion points ( I was
just checking to ensure that I REALLY was fire resistant [ who knows
what resistance a poison breathing dragon endows ] before heading on
down into hell ) when the bloody system blew up on me again!!!
Aaargh. It takes ages to get a Ninja strong.
When it blew up on me I was in the middle of dropping items on level
20. The items I had on me, incidentally, looked nothing like the ones shown
below.
Please tell me you can fix this thing.

Goodbye Officer smac...
You panicked on dungeon level 20 with 32202 points,
and 1918 pieces of gold, after 21399 moves.
You were level 13 with a maximum of 92 hit points when you panicked.

It seems like that a similar bug was fixed sometime after 2.2 was
released. Did that fix ever make it into 2.3? Does the person who posted
that fix want to recheck the new source to see? If it's the same bug, I'll
bet it occurred when dropping things with the "D" command, then specifying
several types of items to drop.
